  Sunrise Sunrise or sun up is the instant at which the upper edge of the Sun appears over the horizon in the morning. The term can also refer to the entire process of the Sun crossing the horizon and its accompanying atmospheric effects. Although the Sun appears to "rise" from the horizon, it is actually the Earth's motion that causes the Sun to appear. The illusion of a moving Sun results from Earth observers being in a rotating reference frame; this apparent motion is so convincing that most cultures had mythologies and religions built around the geocentric model, which prevailed until astronomer Nicklaus Copernicus first formulated the heliocentric model in the 16th century. Architect Buck minster Fuller proposed the terms "sunsight" and "sunclipse" to better represent the heliocentric model, though the terms have not entered into common language. Sunrise actual...

Why Clouds Form On Mountain Tops? Air moves upward and downward in the atmosphere when blown over mountains and in response to thermals. It is easiest to explain what happens is if we examine things from the perspective of a small, imaginary, parcel of air. Think of holding the air in your hands and then letting go. Pressure decreases with elevation in the atmosphere. When a parcel of air rises it expands as the pressure lowers. If no external energy is added or removed (adiabatic expansion) the expansion causes the air parcel to cool. The rate of cooling for dry air is about 0.98°C per 100 meters of rise (5.4°F/1000 ft). The cooling rate is called the dry adiabatic lapse rate. If the air parcel is moved downward it warms at the same rate. The vapor pressure of water is temperature dependent. As the air cools it tends to become water saturated. Note that there are two effects here a) the air is expanding and thus diluting the water vapor and b) the air is cooling meanin...

SAVDAV FALL There is an alluring water Fall at a village named Savadav in Kankavli Taluka. Being safe for swimming, it is crowded with tourists, especially during rainy season. You can directly let the water pour over your body. The road leading to the spot of the fall is full of curvings and ups and downs, with pleasant greenery all around. You can enjoy bathing and swimming at both sides of the fall. There is a small cave-type space at the stream-side, often used for keeping tiffin – material etc. you can reach this picanick spot by a tar-road Bombay-Goa-Highway (NH-17) either from Otav Fork or from Belane Fork. Distance from Otav – 9km, Distance from Belane- 6km. Nearest Railway Station-Nindgaon
